Shoulder Holsters for 1911s

Are Galco Holsters for 1911's Designed to be Carried

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All Galco holsters with safety straps and thumb breaks are designed to carry the 1911 with the "hammer down, chamber empty". Galco 1911 fit holsters that are "open top" (no safety strap and no thumbreak)are designed to accommodate 1911's in all safe "conditions" specified by the firearm manufacture.

All current Galco shoulder rigs have retention straps and thumb breaks and are designed to be carried hammer down, chamber empty. I have an old Miami Classic that was designed to be carried condition 1 with the retention strap between the hammer and firing pin. The reason is that there have been occasions where when the the thumb breaks were unsnapped, the safety was accidently disengaged.

The galco shoulder rig I had put leather between the firing pin and the hammer. It wouldn't snap with the hammer own. It was made to carry locked and loaded.
